Document Summary

Traditional ppl had to adopt various subterfuges so that their religious life could be continued. Many sacred places are now being used for new uses and being threatened and demolished. American indian religious freedom act declared that it was policy of congress to protect and preserve the inherent right of american indians to believe, express and practice their traditional religions. Religious ceremonies that were performed for 1000s of yrs were treated as if they were popular fads or simply personal preferences. Religion=not seen as a need but a want/choice. Supreme court"s conclusion destroying a religion didn"t extremely burden(harm, impede) it. Ppl have a great difficulty understanding why it"s so important that these ceremonies be held. That they be conducted at certain times and places and in private. The court declared that indians cannot pray for the planet or for ppl and other forms of life in the manner required by their religion.
